Symptom:
User receives “Error: Cannot initialize SCORM package – imsmanifest.xml file not found in root” message when uploading a SCORM package.
Cause:
Imsmanifest.xml file is not located in the immediate root of the SCORM package.
Background:
The imsmanifest.xml file contains all of the information required by the LMS to import and launch the content and needs to be in the immediate root of the content package (.ZIP file), not inside another folder within the package.
Resolution:
Repackage your content package (.ZIP file) ensuring that the imsmanifest.xml file is in the root.
- You can verify correct packaging by opening the .ZIP file – you should immediately see the imsmanifext.xml file without having to navigate into any subfolders.
- Third-party authoring tools should correctly package your files automatically. If yours is not, consult with your authoring tool’s vendor.
The NetExam SCORM player can receive and store question ID and answer data from exams that are embedded in the SCORM course.
LMS admins can see the SCORM interaction data in Adhoc reports under UserResponsesToScormInteraction dataSource.
Sometimes your users might experience slide freeze, stuck or unable to navigate when taking
Use the SendTrackingDataAtEnd Template
When you choose SCORM as your LMS standard, Captivate assigns a default template full of code designed to communicate with the LMS. However, the default template uses Captivate's normal 'verbose' communication method, which deluges the LMS with tons of information.
However, you can opt to use a different Template by selecting one from the
How is this template better? Well, instead of sending tracking data to the LMS all the time while the participant is interacting with your course, this template stores the information and only sends it to the LMS when the user exits the course module. That means one request to the server instead of dozens.
